Two key barometers of home sales come out this week, amid keen interest in any sign that the real-estate market is cooling. Existing-home sales for August are expected to slip slightly to an annual pace of between 7.1 million and 7.12 million. In July, the pace had slowed by 2.6% from June to 7.16 million. Figures for new home sales are released Tuesday.
